As they left the interrogation, the three men smiled, having gotten what they wanted.

"So it's true. Frederick did work with that guy," Nicholas sald, his anger simmering as he documents Christian had shown him.

inform Jayden to keep him updated," Christian said.

"Hey, what are we going to do with those two?" Nicholas asked, glancing at Vanessa and Frederick, who were already looking annoyed and frustrated from being confined in those rooms.

"I'm only interested in Frederick since we technically already have Vanessa's confession," the detective. stated.

'1'll come in with you guys," Nicholas offered.

"No," Christian and the detective said simultaneously.

"But I was with you for the twins' interrogation of the twins," Nicholas argued.

"Yes, but it's going to be different with Frederick, and I can't let you hit him like you did earlier," the detective said. "To make him cooperative, we're not going to interrogate him today. Instead, we'll lock them up in separate cells to increase their tension and anxiety." "Heh... I like that plan," Nicholas remarked.

"In any case

any case, we've finished just in time," Christian said, glancing at his watch.

"Right, it's almost time for my niece's surprise party," Nicholas remarked.

"In that case, we'll lock up the prisoners for now and keep a close watch on them. Whether or not they know Vox, I'd rather not risk losing the entire family tonight," the detective instructed, and his subordinates immediately followed his orders.

With that said, Christian and Nicholas left to get changed and head to the house for the party.

Earlier that same morning, Jayden had taken Deborah to Caroline's house on his way to work.

"Happy birthday," he said, handing a red rose to Deborah when she opened the door.

"Hehe, thank you very much," Caroline replied, taking the gift and giving him a kiss on the cheek. [Happy birthday, Carrie!]

"Aww, thanks girl!" Caroline said, hugging her and also giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, I have to go now. Have lots of fun," Jayden said, kissing Deborah on the lips. "Caro, I gave Deborah some money because I'm treating you both to lunch," he added, winking.

"Oh, then I'll be having some delicious caviar and lobster," Caroline joked, watching as Jayden laughed.

before getting into his car to head to work.

[Believe it or not, he gave me enough for that and more]

"Ooh... in that case, I'll feel like a big celebrity," Caroline joked. "Come on in and make yourself comfortable while I finish getting ready."

[Do you want me to put this in water?] Deborah pointed to the rose Caroline had received.

"Please do, I'm going to finish doing my hair," Caroline said, handing over the flower before heading to her room to finish getting ready. Deborah went to the kitchen to find a small vase. She filled it with water and placed the rose in it before setting it on the living room table.

A few minutes later, Caroline returned, beaming and twirling around to show off her outfit.

"Ta-da! What do you think?"

[You look very pretty.]

"Hehe, my mom gave it to me to wear today," she said, touching the blouse she was wearing.

[It looks beautiful on you. It goes well with your skin tone.]

Caroline thanked her, and they left the house to go to the movies, planning to visit some shops afterward.

They enjoyed themselves, window shopping and buying a few items that caught their eye.

[Caroline, let's go into that store now.] Deborah pointed to a jewelry store.

"Sure. We can ask for their catalog and see what they have," Caroline agreed.

They entered the store, upon which a salesperson quickly approached to assist with their purchase, handing them the store catalog.

While Caroline admired the pieces, Deborah discreetly caught the salesperson's attention and handed him a yellow envelope.

The salesperson took it and stepped away to open it, finding a purchase order, a check, and a note with instructions. After reading everything, he smiled and went to fetch something.

"Look at this, Deborah, this ring with small emeralds is lovely," Caroline said, pointing to the picture. [It's beautiful and very much your style.]

"Yes, and it says here you can have the ring engraved...

"Ladies, here is a new piece that arrived a couple of days ago," the salesperson said, returning with a red leather case, which he placed on the display counter. When he opened it, he revealed a stunning white gold necklace with a clear diamond shaped like a teardrop, with a crescent moon beside it.
